A surveyor has a steel measuring tape that is calibrated to be 100.000 m long (.e., accurate to +-1 mm) at 20°C. If she measures the distance between two stakes to be 75.175 m on a 3°C day, does she need to add or subtract a correction factor to get the true distance? She needs to add the correction factor to get the true distance. She needs to subtract the correction factor to get the true distance. She does not need to add or subtract the correction factor because the value shown on the measuring tape shows the true distance. How large, in mm, is the correction factor? Express your answer in millimeters.
